So....who's next?
I know it's kind of morbid, but it's true...
First Brad Renfro died of an apparent drug-overdose almost a week ago. The name might not mean a lot to some people, because a lot of people don't remember him but as a kid. He played in The Client, Tom and Huck, Sleepers, Apt Pupil, and Deuces Wild. He's done other stuff as well in there but nothing really note-worthy; a big contribution to his rapid decline of roles was his drug problem. Sleepers was by far the best movie he'd been in, at least in my opinion, though Apt Pupil is a very close second.
Then today, I woke up from a ridiculously long but amazing nap to this message from Tobes:
Emily says:
HOLY CRAP! Did you see that Heath ledger died?
No way, not Heath Ledger. My line of thinking involving this had less to do with, "OMG-I-am-so-in-love-with-him-and-he-is-my-favorite-actor-in-the-world-how-can-this-be-happening", but more so, "How and why did this happen?" Here you have an actor with a very different life than the one Brad had previously been leading. Heath is one of the most well-known actors in the world, a constant stream of hit movies, and a very young daughter who most likely will not remember her father. Now, Perez's post about this is a little misleading, because they simply state that pills were found near Heath's body. Every other account I have read so far have listed the pills as over the counter sleep meds. Still, it would be considered a drug overdose if it is ruled that is how he died, but let's at least keep our facts straight.
So...

Update:
When I was posting the link for Heath, the video Perez posted had not yet been put up, but now it's there and yeah, Heath is definitely on something. So sad.
Now I have to go watch 10 Things I Hate About You.
